Regional Manager Comments

The customer base here is totally local and all live within a short walking distance from the pub, so they are extremely loyal to the business. The potential here is to maintain the existing customer base plus attract new customers by providing excellent service standards and a warm welcome. The pub has to have a busy and active calendar of activities which suit all ages and demands.
